Now that cutdowns are completed, teams have begun auditioning players that are still on the free agent market, either in an effort to upgrade their current roster or to update their emergency free agent lists.

As is typical of reserve players, Rex Burkhead&#039;s year could&#039;ve gone largely unnoticed. For the second year in a row, Burkhead spent the year on the roster, but was a borderline active roster player come gamedays; often he&#039;d miss games whenthe other three running backs (Jeremy Hill, Gi2015-01-14 15:38:1511/20: Stripe Hype- Should Rex Burkhead or Cedric Peerman be the Third Running Back?http://stripehype.com/2014/11/20/rex-burkhead-cedric-peerman-third-running-back/
Recently, Bengals running back Rex Burkhead has received an uptick in playing time due to Giovani Bernard&#039;s absence; the Bengals typically carry only three running backs on gamedays (Bernard, Jeremy Hill, and Cedric Peerman), so Burkhead is often among the team&#039;s inactives.

Few would argue that the Bucs have had a good pre-season. The offense, which was impressive last year and featured the all-time passing season by a Bucs&#8217; QB, has sputtered. QB Josh Freeman has looked inconsistent, failing to find the rhythm in his three games that shows he is back to his 2012 2013-08-30 09:35:378/28: The Pewter Plank- Tampa Bay Buccaneers Power Rankings: Ranking The Best Players on the Bucs&#8217; Rosterhttp://thepewterplank.com/2013/08/28/tampa-bay-buccaneers-power-rankings-ranking-the-best-players-on-the-bucs-roster-4/
We saw quite a bit of movement, as was to be expected with the starters getting extended time. Biggest gainer was Brian Leonard. Lots of people shifted around, but not any huge swings. Those will certainly come as the we move into the regular season.

The hysteria of the weekend among Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans has been over the performance of Josh Freeman. And since we&#8217;ve already taken the time to look at every time Josh Freeman dropped back to pass and posted our thoughts on the site (you can find that here), let&#8217;s move on to the res2013-08-26 12:35:388/24: The Pewter Plank- Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defeat Miami Dolphins 17-16, Spence and Leonard Stand Out for Bucshttp://thepewterplank.com/2013/08/24/tampa-bay-buccaneers-defeat-miami-dolphins-17-16-spence-and-leonard-stand-out-for-bucs/
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers came out ahead on the scoreboard on Saturday evening, winning their first preseason game of 2013 by a score of 17-16. But they did not come out any more sure of their talent heading into the 2013 season. Josh Freeman had his ups and downs behind a very shaky offensive line, 2013-08-24 23:35:518/24: The Pewter Plank- Doug Martin and Darrelle Revis Out Versus Miami Dolphinshttp://thepewterplank.com/2013/08/24/doug-martin-and-darrelle-revis-out-versus-miami-dolphins/

Itâs time for another question from the Pewter Plank mailbag, and this time I took to Twitter to ask about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and got some great questions.

Throughout the entire offseason many have claimed the Buccaneers biggest issue is the shortage of talent as you dig down the depth chart. The starters are good, but the second and third string players aren&#8217;t quite where they need to be for the Buccaneers to have a good season.

Coach Greg Schiano has a habit of stockpiling players and coaches from his former employer, Rutgers University. Personally I don&#8217;t really care about the coaches.

If you&#8217;ve followed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this offseason, you have undoubtedly heard about some of the players making their case for a roster spot on the small stage of One Buc Place&#8217;s practice fields.

The first full week of training camp is now in the books, and we&#8217;ve learned quite a bit about our beloved Buccaneers.

Doug Martin was a beast a year ago, and with that many fantasy rankings are showing Martin among the top in the league in terms of expected draft position.

When Brian Leonard was signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he wasn&#8217;t touted by fans as an answer to the running back depth problem the Bucs were facing. That&#8217;s partly because Buccaneers&#8217; fans didn&#8217;t care about the running back depth problem, as shoring up the defensive backfi2013-08-01 18:35:408/1: The Pewter Plank- Tampa Bay Buccaneers Camp Report 8/1: Josh Freeman On Point In Practicehttp://thepewterplank.com/2013/08/01/tampa-bay-buccaneers-camp-report-81-josh-freeman-on-point-in-practice/
When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took to the field on a warm morning in the Tampa sun, I don&#8217;t think anyone expected what they&#8217;d see out of quarterback Josh Freeman.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are developing into a team with a strong running game, and every strong running game requires strong blockers.

The Buccaneers have already completed a majority of the moves they will make in preparation for the 2013 NFL regular season, with free agents, draftees, and undrafted rookies already being evaluated and signed.

With the new collective bargaining agreement in the NFL, rookie contracts have become little more than a formality with lengths and dollar amounts bargained for by the Players&#8217; Association rather than the player&#8217;s agent.
